Craig Reynolds batted .292 in 1978, but he wasn't Seattle's top hitter -- right fielder Leon Roberts hit .301 while playing in just about as many games. Nevertheless, Reynolds was Seattle's lone All-Star representative.

Seattle again had just one representative in 1979, when the city hosted the MLB All-Star Game at the Kingdome. Undoubtedly the Mariners' biggest offensive weapon in '79, Bruce Bochte batted .316 with 38 doubles, netting 100 RBIs through the full season.

In his fourth and final year with the Mariners, Tom Paciorek played more games than any other teammate and hit better than any other, too, finishing the season with a .326 average. He was 34 that year, and didn't retire until age 40, then as a Texas Ranger.

Alvin "Mr. Mariner" Davis was Seattle's first big home-grown star, going to the All-Star Game his rookie season and winning the A.L. Rookie of the Year award in '84. He finished the year batting .284 with 27 home runs and 116 RBIs.

Finally, the Mariners had more than one All-Star in 1987, when they sent pitcher Mark Langston and second baseman Harold Reynolds to Oakland. Langston finished the season 19-13 with a 3.84 ERA and 14 complete games. Reynolds finished batting .275 and led the American League with a whopping 60 stolen bases.

At 33 and in his 13th season, but first with the Mariners, Jeffrey Leonard (pictured at right) made a trip to the All-Star Game for the second time in his career. He led the M's with 24 homers that year, though with a .254 average was not the best hitter on the club.

The 1990s started with two now-legendary Seattle All-Stars in Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. In his second year with the M's, Johnson finished 14-11 with a 3.65 ERA and 194 strikeouts. Griffey, in his second year in the bigs, batted an even .300 with 22 homers and won a Gold Glove in center field.

Enter Edgar Martinez. That season he hit a whopping .343 with 46 doubles. Griffey, meanwhile, was named MVP of the All-Star Game after going 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an RBI double. Junior finished that year with a .308 average, 27 homers and 103 RBIs.

The "Big Unit" was back in the Midsummer Classic in 1993, joined of course by Griffey. That season, Johnson finished the year with a league-high 308 strikeouts, a 19-8 record and 3.24 ERA -- and second in A.L. Cy Young voting. Griffey upped his power numbers, hitting 45 home runs with a .309 average and leading the league in total bases with 359.

Again, for the Mariners it was the Griffey and Johnson Show at the All-Star Game. That year, Johnson led the league with 204 strikeouts, nine complete games and four shutouts. Griffey batted .323 with 40 homers and a .674 slugging percentage, finishing second in A.L. MVP voting.

Ahhh, 1995. Before the Mariners' unlikely run to the postseason, they had four players in the All-Star Game. Griffey was injured, with a broken wrist, so he didn't play. Tino ended up pinch-hitting for Edgar. And Johnson, as the starter, struck out three over two innings. That year, the Big Unit won the A.L. Cy Young award after the Mariners' franchise-first postseason berth.

Talk about an All-Star cast. The Mariners were chock-full of big names in the mid '90s, and All-Star voters had obviously noticed Seattle's postseason run in 1995. In '96, the M's sent five players to the Midsummer Classic. That season, A-Rod led the majors with a .358 batting average, 54 doubles and 141 runs.

Another star-studded Mariners team netted five All-Stars again in 1997. The M's went back to the playoffs that year, but first Edgar Martinez went 2-for-2 in the All-Star Game with a solo homer and five total bases, and Randy Johnson started with two strikeouts. Griffey was named A.L. MVP that season, when he had 56 homers and 147 RBIs.

In the All-Star Game, Griffey went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base, and A-Rod went 2-for-3 with a solo home run. For the full season, Rodriguez led the league with 213 hits and had 42 homers -- trailing only Griffey, who had 56 dingers again in '98.

After winning the Home Run Derby, "The Kid" didn't do much in the All-Star Game itself. But that season -- his last with the Mariners for a decade -- Griffey hit 48 homers and won his 10th-straight Gold Glove.

In his first year with the M's, veteran Aaron Sele took his second trip to the All-Star Game as the franchise was building to the famous 2001 season. Rodriguez was in the midst of another spectacular season, which he finished with a .316 average and 41 homers. Martinez, at age 37, finished the year batting .324 and led the league with 145 RBIs.

The 2001 season was a perfect storm for the Mariners and their fans. The M's were essentially a super-team. They won 116 games that year. They hosted the All-Star Game. They had the hottest new player in Ichiro Suzuki. The only thing they didn't do was make it to the World Series.

The Mariners were still good in 2002, but the spotlight wasn't quite so bright --and the entire A.L. West was great. That year, the M's sent three to the All-Star Game. Ichiro was fresh off winning the A.L. MVP and Rookie of the Year awards, and was still the hottest thing in baseball. Kazuhiro Sasaki finished the season with a career-best 2.52 ERA. And Freddy Garcia, aka "The Chief," was in his prime.

It was Jamie Moyer's only All-Star season in his 25-year career -- a year he went 21-7 in 33 starts with a 3.27 ERA. The '03 M's finished 93-69 but second in a strong A.L. West. It was Martinez's final All-Star Game, at age 40. Bret Boone finished the season with 35 homers and 117 RBIs. Shigetoshi Hasegawa ended the year with a 1.48 ERA in 63 appearances.

Ichiro was Seattle's only All-Star in 2004, but what an All-Star he was. That was the season he broke the MLB single-season hits record, finishing with 262. He also led the majors with a whopping .372 batting average in 2004.

Again, in 2005 Ichiro was Seattle's only All-Star. He went 2-for-2 with two RBIs in the All-Star Game, and was on his way to another great season. By year's end, he had a .303 batting average and slapped 206 hits around the field.

Second baseman Jose Lopez batted in the high .200s in the first half of the season, and that was apparently good enough for All-Star voters. Ichiro that year led the majors with 224 hits and batted .322 on the season.

Ichiro famously hit an inside-the-park home run in this All-Star Game -- a wild, two-run, standup shot that bounced off the center-field wall and away from the N.L. outfielder. Mariners closer J.J. Putz made his only trip to the Midsummer Classic that year, when he finished the season with 40 saves and an MLB-leading 65 games finished.

In another banner year for Ichiro -- weren't they all, just about? -- he was Seattle's only representative to the All-Star Game in 2008. That season, he finished with a .310 batting average and the most hits in the majors with 213.

Felix Hernandez made his first All-Star appearance in 2009, when he was on target for an eventual 19-5 season with a 2.49 ERA. He came in second in Cy Young voting that year, when he struck out 217. Ichiro managed 225 hits that year -- the most in the majors.

Cliff Lee wasn't even with the Mariners a full season, but he represented them in 2010 at the All-Star Game. Interestingly, Felix Hernandez didn't get a nod though he ended up winning the A.L. Cy Young award that year. Meanwhile, Ichiro continued to be Ichiro, finishing the season with 214 hits.

Pitcher Michael Pineda (pictured at center) was just a rookie starter, but was immediately given a trip to the All-Star Game. Seattle closer Brandon League (left) also got the nod. "King Felix," of course, continued his dominance on the mound.

Felix didn't pitch in the 2012 All-Star Game, but he certainly deserved his spot. Later in the year, he went on to pitch the first perfect game in Mariners history and just the 23rd perfect game ever in Major League Baseball.

In just his second year in the majors, Hisashi Iwakuma shocked even Mariners fans with his breakout season as a starter. He finished the year 14-6 with a 2.66 ERA -- a better performance, statistically speaking, than teammate Felix Hernandez. Hernandez went 12-10 with a 3.04 ERA in 2013.

The Mariners were one of the best surprises in baseball in 2014, and it showed in their All-Star selections, as the M's boasted the most players in the Midsummer Classic in more than a decade.

Third baseman Kyle Seager cemented his place as a breakout star, while closer Fernando Rodney was named to the team as a last-second replacement. Second baseman Robinson Cano, a big-time offseason free agent signing, delivered in his first year in Seattle, and Hernandez put together one of the best seasons in his storied career.

Another prized offseason signing, Cruz was named a starter for the American League team at designated hitter after garnering more than 10.6 million fan votes. Batting .308 with 21 home runs and 53 RBIs, he earned his third-straight All-Star appearance, and fourth overall.

Hernandez made his fifth consecutive All-Star appearance after leading the A.L. with 11 wins and sports a 2.84 ERA.

After an up-and-down 2015 campaign, which can largely be attributed to injury and illness, Cano has been among the league's best performers for the entire first half of the 2016 season. The 33-year-old enters the All-Star break ranking in the A.L.'s top 10 in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, hits, runs, doubles, home runs and RBIs.
